MCP
Drive Subedit from Claude.
Connect Subedit to Claude and run your clipping workflow from chat. List your projects, transcribe, edit captions, set the style, import a video, and export a pixel exact captioned MP4 on your own machine.
Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor.
What you can do
Six things Subedit can do for you straight from a Claude chat.
List your projects
Ask Claude what you are working on and it pulls your projects, most recent first, scoped to your account.
Import a video
Start a new project from a local file or a source URL without leaving the chat.
Transcribe
Turn the source video into word level captions so the timing is ready to edit.
Edit captions
Rewrite, trim, or replace the caption text and Claude saves the full snapshot back to the project.
Set style
Apply a preset, tweak the look, and place the captions where you want them in frame.
Export a captioned MP4
Render a pixel exact captioned MP4 on your own machine. What the editor preview shows is what lands on disk.
Connect in three steps
Two commands and a restart. No config file to edit by hand.
Sign in and write your config
npx subedit-mcp initOne command signs you in and writes the Subedit server into your Claude config automatically. No JSON to edit by hand.
Check your machine
npx subedit-mcp doctorA self check confirms your machine can do a pixel exact render, with a fix printed for anything that is missing.
Restart Claude
Restart Claude and Subedit shows up as a connected tool. Ask it to list your projects to confirm the link.
What works today
We are rolling this out. The Subedit MCP server is built and the connect commands above are what you will run, but the published package is not live for everyone yet. Until it ships, the commands will not resolve from a fresh machine.
Pixel exact export needs real Google Chrome on your machine and is gated to early access accounts while we finish the rollout. The rest of the flow, listing projects and reading their state, comes online the moment the package is public.
If you want in on the early access round, sign up and reach out. We are turning this on for more people every week.
